I had open house at my 8th grader’s school & his social studies teacher mentioned they were doing a project where the kids took a personality test to determine a career path, would get a set salary (avg for the career) and would have to build a budget. I asked him what he got &—

Maybe I’m sounding like a boomer, but “bookie” was never a career choice when I took these tests in high school

@AJ_F612 When my older brother did that in HS he got “Carnie” like a carnival worker (he is now a writer/conservationist)

@Katelynjontel Lmaooo oh my god, not carnie

@AJ_F612 I love that he responded as though you couldn’t hear him..

@AJ_F612 Parlay that experience into reinsurance. Same thing, bigger scale.

@AJ_F612 Flashing back to the "guidance counselor scene" in the movie CLERKS... https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

@AJ_F612 He's going to run a gacha parlor. 🤣

@AJ_F612 I believe gambling services entails making sure the “whales” don’t stop gambling. Call them up, give them a free room, flights, and ways to get more lines of credit to continue gambling.

@AJ_F612 Did you not hear him the first time

@AJ_F612 Do you think he's going do the numbers, or beer more on the collection side

@AJ_F612 Not too bad for entry career and I guess it would it depend on geo location like Jersey or Vegas Source: BLS Employment Projections https://share.google/i0TTnFuNY...

@AJ_F612 My highschool had us do personality tests for careers and they gave us the three highest matches as I got: 1. Mortician, 2. Crossing Guard, 3. CEO.

@AJ_F612 The best part is that he said “Gambling Services” twice, with no further detail. Exactly what my son would do.

@AJ_F612 I’m sorry but I’ve never related more to a text than “what do you mean.”

@AJ_F612 This one hurts bc I got “cashier” in 5th grade

@AJ_F612 Answer made him downgrade to iphone??

@AJ_F612 i got garbage truck worker

@AJ_F612 I got "intelligence officer" when we did this in 8th grade. Was not smart enough to realize they meant spy.

@AJ_F612 Haha when I took that test in middle school a bunch of the boys got "farmer" I'm fairly certain none of us ended up farming lol

@AJ_F612 He can move to Vegas and work in the big casinos and Sportsbook’s haha 🤭🤭

@AJ_F612 What’s the avg for that career?

@AJ_F612 I got ~bellhop~

@AJ_F612 😂, passionate about sports, likes to be personally invested, and fond of statistics ?

@AJ_F612 I got funeral director when I took one of those

@AJ_F612 Like lottery engineer or casino manager? What is gambling services

@AJ_F612 Stand proud

@AJ_F612 This is like when they put me with the mortician and the chiropractor for the middle school career fair

@AJ_F612 Amazing. I took one in college and got ‘professional football coach’ - a but puzzling because I’m neither athletic nor have any interest in sports and am a woman, which at the time I took the test would have made me quite the trailblazer.

@AJ_F612 when i was in school i got funeral director…i have a huge phobia of deceased bodies😭😭grain of salt for those test lol

@AJ_F612 I mean, was he provided other career paths along with gambling services and he only focused on that one out of genuine surprise?

@AJ_F612 Ali sksksks

@AJ_F612 Gambling services is so open ended, what does that even mean?

@AJ_F612 ask him if he prefers wood or aluminum bats and can he get me a deal on brass knuckles.

@AJ_F612 I took a test like that in the 90s in class and mine came back as ‘artificial inseminator’ my teacher told me it was for livestock.

@AJ_F612 What are his picks for this weekend tho

@AJ_F612 Gambling services means different things to people based on their level of morality. I took it to mean casino worker or owner or working for the state lottery commission. You went to.....felon.🫠
